I love that the GOP has forced us to put up with this evil man for 3 1/2 years, but they think not broadcast them kissing up to him at the convention will save them from us remembering who they are or what they did. Vote vote vote this needs to an election that punishes everyone who sat back and let our country be ripped apart for the ego of a Tyrant
I think it’s partly distancing themselves from this fascist clown and partly that every time he opens his bumhole-resembling mouth, he just hurts himself even more. He is a demented, very ill, very stupid man, and he makes less and less sense with each passing day. I don’t think this is Dump sticking it to Journalists, I think this is the lowest moment of the GOP to date.
Of course they dont want cameras. They know he will lose, they dont want their support documented by history. Its a bit late for that but whatever.
@Atti and @Sara, this is complete B.S.! Him not wanting cameras? Not with his ego! Probably Faux News and that’s it! This is not going to happen and the repugnunts will be happy to join him as they rely of his endorsements especially with 5 toss ups this coming November of Republicant’s up for re-election!
That pic of Trump at the end–lord. He’s clearly sooooooo high.
omg yes!
I agree he is high but until now I hadn’t thought about his being high on substances, but instead only his own narcissism. Do you think he is high on uppers? That could explain a lot.
Noel Casler worked closely with him on Celebrity Apprentice and claims that he is an Adderall addict.
@Call_Me_Al, yes, in addition to his other pathologies, he is a severe drug addict. Noel Casler is now a NYC-based stand up comedian, but he worked for decades in live TV, including several seasons on the Celebrity Apprentice. Since 2016, he’s been defying his NDA to warn people about all of the Trumps. He tags them every time on Twitter. They’ve never sued him. He says Trump snorts Adderall almost constantly, that he also has used cocaine & that when the uppers get to be too much, his enablers give him benzos to even things out. According to Noel, even back in the Celebrity Apprentice days, Trump was “profoundly incontinent” due to decades of drug abuse. Apparently, when he was upset on the show, he would audibly soil himself & they’d have to stop taping to get him cleaned up.
Adderall and Benzodiazepines
Call me crazy, but wouldn’t he be a lot skinnier if he was tossing back tons of Adderall? (I can’t stand the man, but I know from past experience that it zaps your appetite)
@lobstah…not necessarily. Look at someone like Chris Farley, an upper drug addiction so severe that it killed him yet he was still obese.
@lobstah It does reduce appetite in many people, but there are definitely people who use Adderall who are overweight or obese. Also, we know he basically just eats fast food all the time & doesn’t seem to exercise except for golf.
@lobstah
The interactions between different drugs is also a factor. Certainly amphetamine is known to suppress appetite in many individuals, but benzodiazepines often enhance appetite. Add in the side effects of whatever other medications he’s taking, the net result might be that it actually causes him to eat more.
Trump strikes me as a stress-junk-food eater.
He was well known for his cocaine use in the 70’s to the 2000’s I doubt he ever stopped
He also snorts Adderall
Methylphenidate will reduce appetite for the hours it’s active, but then what happens is the hunger will slam into you all at once it wears off. That can cause a binge effect for some people because you’re suddenly desperately hungry. It’s one of the reasons I just did not enjoy being on it.
Thanks for the info, yall! Sheesh.
Thank you everyone for the info, I appreciate it! I didn’t even think about Chris Farley.
Today I read that the GOP is walking that back a bit…saying they “haven’t decided” about media coverage at the convention. But they know CV will make Trump a dud when he’s not speaking to adoring crowds.
I read this morning that due to RGB’s health issues, that Drumpf is releasing his presumptive SCOTUS nominees next week. McConnell said he should be allowed to nominate someone before November. But there is one Republican Senator, can’t remember her name but I know it wasn’t Collins, that said the GOP shouldn’t consider a nomination so close to the election due to what McConnell did to Obama for Scalia’s replacement which he blocked immediately with Obama still having 11 months of his term. She stated that when Scalia died in February, and GOP, mostly McConnell who boasted for months on national TV of how proud he was in blocking Obama, that she felt it wouldn’t look good on the GOP. Wow, a GOP member with a slight bit of consciousness, unlike McConnell or Graham who sad he would support what the rest of the GOP supports. What a ass-kisser! How were he and McCain friends for so long?
That would have to be Sen. Murkowski. She was the only Republican willing to vote against Kavanaugh.
He is also probably hoping to take away media buzz from Biden announcing his VP choice. Trump sees everything as teevee and ratings and never stops trying to do this kind of thing.
I think one of the concerns is his obvious drug fueled chatter. “Some live streaming,” is the statement, and they will edit. Any attempt to save GOP face will fail unless they take action to get him to resign. And every picture of him looks as if he has a massive drug problem.
Aww, I’m just here for Dwayne Johnson and his adorable daughters.
Closed to the media. Our voted-for politicians conducting election year political gatherings as representatives of, by and for, the people behind closed doors. Shutting out the media is shutting EVERYONE out. Here again, this traitorous wretch is openly masturbating with the Constitution with nobody doing a damn thing about it.
The devil was crowned in the darkness as well…
Trump should really accept the nomination from his bunker.
That would be outstanding. A real testament to the state of the US right now
Did you see the big wall they’re putting around the White House? The whole place will be a bunker soon.
HA, Expecting a big fight to pick Pence and cheeto doesn’t want it televised. He will rely on the Kremlin trick of releasing the doctored video himself.
What on earth is he going to say that he doesn’t want us to hear? He’s perfectly comfortable saying things that most decent people think are terrible, so he must be planning to go all out on the racism and fascism if he doesn’t want it to be broadcast.
The GOP (not looking so “grand” now?) and America as a whole are such a clusterfu– right now. It’s terrifying.
Honestly I believe the GOP is hoping Trump loses and loses badly so that none of his spawn will think of running in 2024. My tinfoil tiara theory is that’s why they are dragging their feet on the new stimulus bill. They know Trump wants it badly to help his re-election chances and I think some of them are trying to sabotage him.
I’ve wondered if they are trying to sabotage him too.
I hope so
I wouldn’t be surprised if he bowed out because of some ‘foot thing’.
When you think of all the ethical and competent people in the would who could be president, it’s sad that the best the system can serve up is a choice between Trump and Biden.
I think they know he is likely going to lose, and personally probably want him out of there, he’s a train wreck, but they’ve all sat by and watched him dismantle all sorts of good stuff, and happily watched all the awful judges get confirmed. I don’t doubt they all hate him and probably want him to go, but they haven’t exactly been crying for the last four years.
American democracy is on life support 😢😢😢
I wish ppl would stop using “Latino”. It doesn’t mean what you think it means. “Latino” is as useful as “European”. It refers to ppl from the Latin American subcontinent. It says nothing of specific cultural background, ethnicity, or race.
“There’s little Latino inclusion in the Emmy nominations.”
Latino as in what? Colombians? Mexicans? Venezuelans? Puerto Ricans? Brazilians?
Use words. They have meaning. And lumping all of us together because “eh, close enough”/”they’re all the same anyway” is extremely offensive.
This isn’t against Celebitchy, btw. It’s just a general rant lol
